Step a: = –c + = step b: = determine the justification for the steps from the derivation of the quadratic formula. justification of step a: justification of step b:

Captain umaima has a ship, the h.m.s. khan. the ship is two furlongs from the dread pirate nadia and her merciless band of thieves. the captain has probability 3/7 of hitting the pirate ship. the pirate only has one good eye, so she hits the captain's ship with probability 2/5. if both fire their cannons at the same time, what is the probability that the captain hits the pirate ship, but the pirate misses.
